Flood work dries up; city stops taking reports

City officials on Wednesday asked residents to stop calling in reports of flood damage to Lubbock's 3-1-1 and main switchboard.

City and county staff had asked for the reports as it worked to provide state and federal authorities with damage estimates from the Independence Day weekend flooding. The Federal Emergency Management Agency completed its survey for the area, and the further reports were not needed, according to a city statement.
